Synopsis

A powerful portrait of a Southern town rebuilding its memory around race and courage.

This novel follows intertwined lives in Dothan, Alabama, as residents confront a painful past and question what true bravery requires in the present.

Set against a history of conflict and promise, the story traces the costs and rewards of standing up to inherited prejudice. Through diverse voices—white and Black, old and young—it explores how a community can confront its deepest wounds while seeking a more hopeful future.

Readers will encounter scenes of everyday life in a small Southern city, the weight of memory, and the moment when personal choices push a town toward change. The book invites reflection on ancestry, responsibility, and the courage it takes to redefine a community’s future.

• Interwoven perspectives from Black and white residents illuminate different experiences of the same town.
• Explores how history shapes present-day attitudes and the path toward reconciliation.
• Focus on moral choices, civic leadership, and the costs of collective courage.
• Vivid setting in a Southern town with a deep sense of place and community life.

Ideal for readers who enjoy character-driven historical fiction, social drama, and stories about communities facing hard truths to build a better tomorrow.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
